Here is video of Bret Baier's exclusive interview with President Barack Obama, where they discussed the health care reform bill and foreign policy.

When asked, Obama would not answer directly whether he supports the "deem and pass" strategy to get the health care bill passed. Obama said, "I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or the Senate, what I can tell you is that the vote that's taken in the House will be a vote for health care reform and if people vote yes, whatever form that takes, that is going to be a vote for health care reform."

Obama said he's "confident" the health care bill will pass, "because it's the right thing to do."

On foreign policy, Obama said there is no crisis with relations between the U.S. and Israel. He called Israel "one of our closest allies," but he added, "Friends are going to disagree sometimes."

Obama is now a caring potus-families. This is his work as a community organizer for 20 years. Jarrett was a big help too.http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/06/27/grim_proving_ground_for_obamas_housing_policy/

No, Baier was not rude, just tough and unwilling to let Obama simply filibuster and double-speak without calling him on it. Instead of asking Obama was his favorite piece of furniture is in the White House, he was asking hard questions. Obama's not used to that from the press corps.
